Can we use the term 'mulls' for muslims ?

Well depends on context of use of the term.

If it is commonly used as a put-down (not just by you but in general use by society in India), then it is unwelcome.

If it is not a put-down - then all good.

The standard I use is - when you use the term against a person, how they perceive it (welcome or unwelcome).

Respect is always a pre-amble to personal interactions.

For you young guys - I always use one single example.

If there was an attractive young twenty something Muslim girl from Bangladesh (a potential mate for you), could you say "Bong" or "Chaddi" as a slur to her face? Or even "mull"?

That is the standard I'd use for everyone, yes even in a forum like this.

Gujarati Taqiya : If Gujaratis get called for their Scamming Bania behaviour, show it as an attack on India and Indians.

Saar they are not attacking Chor Adani but India Saar.

You see, when you opened this thread, many people voiced opposite view. None of them was Gujarati. That is called soft power. The person who twisted about is Gujarati. When Billa said that he will not allow this racist thread, I as a Gujarati opposed him. That is the difference between people like you and us.

Bong, Bram, Mallu, Tam, Bhaiyya, Bihari, Mia and many other such are not offensive, just slang, not necessarily offensive, it depends of context.

I just witnessed GSLV launch of geostatiory satellite, 100th by Indian launch vehicle. The chairman ISRO remembered the visionary first chairman of ISRO Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, a Gujarati from Amadavad.
